[font="Century Gothic"][color="DeepSkyBlue"] I don't know if a thread like this already exists, but I just bought two anime DVDs, which were my firsts. (A fan who's never bought any. :lol:

) So, what was your first anime DVD?
By the way, I bought episodes 115-118 of Naruto, and my mom bought Fruits Basket 13-19.♥[/color][/font]

The first dvd I've bought were Dragon Ball Z. It was one of those dvds I bought about the Tenkaichi Budokai.

Edit:My first vhs was Dragon Ball Z:The History of Trunks.

I don't remember what our first DVD was, but I know we've had Sailor Moon and Marmalade Boy on video tape for a looooong time.

My first DVD was actually the first volume of Sorcerer Hunters. My first VHS, though... Man! I'd been doing anime a good four years before DVDs finally became cheap and I had quite a collection. Starting with a DiC sailor moon tape.

Mine was either volume 1 of Jubei-chan, Strawberry Eggs or Crest of the Stars -- I don't remember which one.

Postby **LadyRushia** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 8:25 pm

I think mine was either Princess Mononoke or the first season of Rayearth.

Do VHS tapes count? >_>

I think the first anime DVD I bought was Sailor Moon S: The Movie. The first anime VHS I bought was Sailor Moon R: The Movie. XD

My first anime DVD was actually a set, Witch Hunter Robin 1-6. I ended up selling it, and getting the individual volumes with the art box. ^_^

My MAL · Postby **Fantasy Dreamer** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 10:28 pm

.........either Gundam Wing or Rurouni Kenshin..... I can't remember which came first.... I'm 90% sure it was Rurouni Kenshin....

Postby **ADXC** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 10:44 pm

My first VHS tapes were for Pokemon. And then after that DBZ and DBGT.

My first DVDs were for DNAngel.

The Castle of Cagliostro.

Postby **Fish and Chips** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 11:52 am

I think it was Samurai Champloo vol. 7, which let me tell you is a great volume to start any collection on.

Postby **Radical Dreamer** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 1:15 pm

The first two DVDs of Rurouni Kenshin. Those were some good times; I seriously get so nostalgic when I watch that show. XD

Postby **Blitzkrieg1701** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 3:26 pm

Let's see... I know the first VHS anime I OWNED was Sonic the Hedgehog the Movie (for Christmas), while the first I actually BOUGHT was Princess Mononoke.

As for DVDs... Hmmm, that's a tough one. It was either Spirited Away or Metropolis, I forget which.

Postby **Scarecrow** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 3:39 pm

The Coyboy Bebop, Which Hunter Robin, and DNAngel sets I think I got at the same time and those were my first.

Postby **Shao Feng-Li** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 4:23 pm

Rurouni Kenshin volume 2.

My MAL · Postby **Fantasy Dreamer** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 7:42 pm

I remember now... my first DVD was the whole Kenshin series. Ah, good times...

Postby **KhakiBlueSocks** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 7:45 pm

[font="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="4"][color="RoyalBlue"]My first anime DVD was also my first eBay purchase; the movie "Metropolis". My first in-store purchase was "His and Her Circumstances" Vol. 1 in GameWare...back when they sold used DVD's.[/color][/SIZE][/font]

Trigun v. 1

Postby **Tancos** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:18 am

Serial Experiments Lain, the complete set (which turned out to be a bootleg. I have since replaced it with the genuine article.)

Postby **minakichan** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 9:09 am

Senkaiden Houshin Engi 1, localized as "Soul Hunter."

It was also the last anime DVD I bought. Seriously, the original anime wasn't all that great, but ADV's presentation was terrible-- cheesy special effects on the menu screen, terrible back-of-the-box description, and the dub was seriously the most painful 2 hours I've ever sat through in my life-- and I've seen 4Kids dubs.

I'm hoping to get over my R1 DVD phobia with the Romeo X Juliet boxset when it comes out though.

Man, I know, right?

Postby **That Dude** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 9:38 am

Princess Mononoke, and Gundam Endless Waltz.

First series, Martian Successor Nadesico. Still one of my all time favorites.

Postby **Kkun** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 10:19 am

Rurouni Kenshin vol. 5, Renegade Samurai. I had 1-4 on VHS which I later went back and bought again on DVD.

Postby **KagayakiWashi** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 6:12 pm

I bought Dragonball Z Season One after playing Tenkaichi Budokai 2 on the Wii. After that I totally missed anime and started collecting the DBZ series, then Gundam Wing (ahhhh the days of early Toonami) and then Trigun and....well....the rest is history.

Postby **christianfriend** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 6:42 pm

The very first Anime DVDs I bought was the complete Inuyasha series with subtitles X3 including the first movie as well! Ahh..great series

Postby **termyt** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:19 am

That's hard to remember. My first VHS tapes were of Robotech and Ranma.

My first DVD's are a little more fuzzy. Ranma, Iria, and Battle Athletes would be my oldest DVD's. Hard to say which was actually first.

Yeah, but its really long and I kind of get tired of watching episode after episode. After a while, it gets repetative and I'm thinking "End already!".

Postby **the_wolfs_howl** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 7:40 am

My first, and only, anime VHS was Pokemon The Movie 3.

My first DVD was Volume 1 of Full Metal Alchemist

Black Jack the Movie, which is also one of the first anime movies/anime anything I ever saw.
